    I don’t condone this joke, it’s terrible and offensive. I wrote it for a friend’s standup routine.

    My friends are upset at me because they think I’m sleeping with a 16 year old. But she’s not 16. She was 16 when she died. Now she’s 18.

      IMO the joke isn’t terribly offensive, just unfunny. There are incredibly good jokes that would be way more offensive when taken literally. Look up the SNL joke swaps if you’re curious.
